Sponsor Qurrat's "Run for a dream"
- a dream to make a difference
Dear Friends,
I have officially started training to run in the Washington D.C.
Marathon on October 28, 2007. This is a 26.2 mile course around
the monuments of D.C. with the target fundraised goal of $2600 for
Lend-A-Hand-India www.lend-a-hand-india.org But I'm not just doing
it for myself. I'm not just doing it to get into top physical condition.
I've promised to run this marathon because the money I raise will
go towards helping people who don't have all the opportunities that
I have. Growing up in America, its easy to forget how lucky we all
are. Let's give back our success to people who truly need it and
will definitely appreciate it! I ask that you help by donating generously!
The money raised will go toward providing vocational training and
career counseling to hundreds of deserving boys and girls from poor
communities in India generating employment opportunities for them
and their families.
Here are some examples of what your donation will do:
- $100 pays for the tuition fee of two boys / girls for a vocational
training program
- $400 pays the one-year salary of a trainer at the school
- $1500 pays to purchase a PC and internet facility for a high school
- $4000 pays for the one year of operating cost of a batch of students
for training programs (includes teacher's salaries, consumables,
coordination, and monitoring) or meets the capital cost of launching
a vocational training center at a high school,
... but of course, any amount helps!
You can contribute by sponsoring me online through PayPal (click
